	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Ten students from The University of Texas at San
	Antonio have provided valuable support to the Texas Legislature as
	members of the UTSA Legislative Scholars Program, and as the 82nd
	Legislative Session draws to a close, it is indeed appropriate to
	recognize these dedicated interns; and
	WHEREAS, Created in 2004, the UTSA Legislative Scholars
	Program is a collaborative initiative between State Representative
	Ruth Jones McClendon and the UTSA Institute for Law and Public
	Affairs; the program, also known as McClendon Scholars, gives
	undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to serve as
	interns in the Texas House of Representatives and Senate during
	regular legislative sessions; and
	WHEREAS, Participants are selected based on academic
	credentials as well as such criteria as good judgment, independent
	thinking, and professionalism, and they perform a number of
	essential tasks, including research, analysis, writing, and
	corresponding with constituents; and
	WHEREAS, The Class of 2011, which is the largest group since
	the program's founding, includes: Murtuza Hussain and Michael
	Johnson, who served in the office of Representative McClendon,
	Czara Venegas, who served in the office of Representative Dawnna
	Dukes, Benjamin Barkley, who served in the office of Representative
	Lois Kolkhorst, Allison Hughes, who served in the office of
	Representative Jose Menendez, Rey Milan, who served in the office
	of Representative J. M. Lozano, Margie Alfaro, who served in the
	office of Senator Judith Zaffirini, Deborah Seriki, who served in
	the office of Representative Roberto Alonzo, Sandra Morales, who
	served in the office of Representative Armando Martinez, and Tyler
	Rutherford, who served in the office of Speaker Joe Straus; and
	WHEREAS, These dedicated students have provided vital
	support services to the legislature throughout the session while
	gaining important firsthand experience in government, and it is a
	pleasure to recognize the contributions of these accomplished young
	men and women; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
	Legislature hereby commend the 2011 UTSA Legislative Scholars
	Program on its largest class of interns to date and extend to its
	participants sincere best wishes for success in all their
	endeavors; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the interns as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
